Oral Sedation

If you suffer from dental anxiety, Dr. DeVinney may recommend oral sedation. These anti-anxiety pills tone down activity in the parts of your brain that cause you to feel anxious or afraid.

Remember, if you take oral sedation, you cannot drive before or after your appointment. Bring a friend or family member with you to make sure you arrive and get back home safely following your appointment.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Unfortunately, dental anxiety can keep many patients from visiting the dentist for checkups and much-needed dental work. If dental appointments make you anxious, our Pleasanton dental team can administer nitrous oxide (commonly known as “laughing gas”) to help you feel more at ease during your visit.

At Amador Dental & Orthodontic, laughing gas is administered using a mask, allowing you to feel more at ease within minutes. If you are feeling anxious about an upcoming visit, ask about nitrous oxide. Most of our patients are good candidates for this treatment, including our pediatric dental patients.

Does you need some help tolerating dental treatment? Or maybe you suffer from dental anxiety yourself? Whatever the reason, we are happy to offer sedation options during your dental appointment.
